I designed this block for a quilt using EQ8. I am a fan of Deb Tucker's rulers, and have most of them. So instead of making a bunch of HST's for the block, I looked at the shapes, and though I could make this with V block, flying geese, and pickets. It saves 12 seams in each block. Is this silly? or reasonable? I am not sure if less seams are better, or just an aesthetic difference. Thanks for any advice, or thoughts on construction.
I love your block design! And that you are trying to reduce seams. Here's one more idea. Use a square-in-a-square technique on three side of this part... then, if using a light or white, those center seams will not show through.
